The Week Ahead for Cancer
Monday, 19 Jan – Sunday, 25 Jan
Light and frothy is not the stuff of this week’s astrology. It is meaty and many-layered. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are all within close range of Pluto, the planet of reformation, the planet that takes you to dark places in order to throw a light on what lies beneath. In many ways, this is a journey of self-discovery and one through which you will come to realize the lengths and depths to which you will go for someone or something. It’s the sort of astrology that tests you on every level. This could be a period of huge success or it could be one that pulls the rug out from beneath your feet.
Not for the feint-hearted.

Monday, 12 Jan – Sunday, 18 Jan
There’s still a celebratory aura to the astrology so even if there are aspects of your existence that require “work”, don’t lose that sense of optimism about what you can do to make 2026 a year to remember. Jupiter is once again centre stage, and this planet makes everything bigger and better – sometimes, of course, the situations we wish would not get bigger and only better. Sunday’s new moon falls in the zone of relating pointing to a new beginning for a long-standing relationship and/or someone new entering your life who will have an impact on your future.
Positivity rules.

The Month Ahead for Cancer
January 2026
Saturday (3rd) is a big date in the Cancerian calendar. The full moon in your sign conjoins fortunate Jupiter, presiding over an ending but also the opening of a new and expansive chapter. You have everything to play for in January, provided you are ready to back your talents, beliefs and feelings. It is the perfect time to marry, form a partnership or sign a long-term contract. However, it is also the right time to admit that time is up for a struggling situation. Late January presents some challenges, so don’t leave it too late to deal with a task you’ve been avoiding

The Year Ahead for Cancer

Right from the beginning of January, events make their mark on your future, and a relationship could be in the mix… Jupiter’s passage through Cancer will come to an end in July, so make the most of the opportunities that present themselves because it will be another twelve years before you have this planetary super-power behind you again. Make the moves. Have confidence in your talents and your ability to manifest.
